    Yeah, I was surprised. I gave up Gold Medals on the last level of USA, and then got tired of the game and quit at Japan. I might go back to it, but some things about that game are not designed very well. 
     
    That being said, it's free, and that is cool.

    Second stage in EU is impossible. There is one jump 3/4 in to the level that simply cannot be done, I've tried dozens and dozens of times. Even if you jump right at the edge it's not enough and there is no way of grabbing the edge. And yes I'm running with boost.  
     
    Am I missing something? 
     
    EDIT: Yes I was missing something. You have to slide down the slope to get more speed then you can get from running down the slope. Took me forever to figure that out.

    I think the game is pretty damned awesome. And considering that it's 100% free, I really don't think it's in my right to complain.

    I've been only moving forward once I get a gold medal on each race. Right now I'm on Japan 4 and I'm trying for the 1:40 achievement and I don't see how I can drop a full minute from my time. Currently at 2:40 flat

    I have a massive dislike for this ass-hole game, it has made me rage quit so many times. I even been shouted random curse words, in random combinations because of the absolute crap I have endured. The game has flawed mechanics and timing problems. Like sprinting too long causes the idiot to fall over, that never happens in real life. I could run across an ice rink in cellophane socks and not fall over as many times as I do in a level of this game. The levels become ridiculously long, and become extremely brutal far too quickly. It's like jumping over a couple death falls and then you have to dodge 'hammers', trap door like things, paint guns, becoming too dizzy because of running, crazy ass conveyor belts that go in random directions and at different speeds. I thought 'Splosion Man was bad enough with some of its levels that made you do impeccably timed jumps, over wise you would die. But this is the biggest masocore game I have ever played. Super Meatboy, N+, 'Splosion Man. They all have nothing on Dorito's Crash Course. 
    Although, the levels in this game show surprising amounts of imagination which I had not seen in any masocore platformer before. I believe I may be addicted to this piece of crap, God help me.

    I let go of the boost every time I jump and have never had a problem.

    At least (A) the game is still free & (B) easy to Srank the other one as well as the one from last year with the dinosaurs. I think that this would definitely be improved with some t-rex action in it.

    The challenge only really kicks in on the last few levels, but yeah it's pretty fucking hard. Thing is, there's no time-limit. A wash if you ask me. Plus, free.

    I downloaded this game today, played through all the levels once and said "fuck this game" and deleted it. Some of the platforming elements are pretty fresh, but the collision detection issues on the ledges and the incredibly stiff and archaic controls combine to mess up this generic-ass game something fierce. Meh, give me Super Meat Boy any day of the week. Free doesn't mean I should play it if it's this generic and mediocre.

    Yep, the collision issiues are what really put me off even attempting to get gold on all levels. I did the same as you - played through it then deleted it.

    I was surprised when I realized the game was pretty good. Like everyone's said though, getting all golds is seemingly a huge pain in the ass. I gave up about halfway through Europe and still haven't bothered to finish Japan. Reminds me a lot of MXC.

    I had the same problem, man. It pissed me off at first, but then I remembered that you could slide. Haha.

    I was surprised by the level of challenge the game provided. I felt like the last few levels were rather unnecessary though, they weren't just difficult but the game kept throwing the same obstacle at you over and over, and the whole thing was made more frustrating than it should have been due to the bad collision detection.

    I think this is a great game. It's a game that has it's own rules and is consistent. Slides are very important as is timing. And the air control is very good. The only thing that bothers me is the environment doesn't reset when you reset at a checkpoint and the timing on things gets messed up. However, I suppose this is the punishment for failure.

    ... what? Its a sprint move. To put a limit on something is a basis of decent game design.

    You're comparing a free game to sell crisps to the best paid downloadable game of 2010? I think you need to get your expectations in order.

    @MysteriousBob: I made that comment the first time I played the game.....I later discovered that you can easily prevent any problems by letting go of the sprint button while jumping....its still a stupid concept and shouldn't have been part of the game.

    I've played free games that are a hell of a lot better than this game....that's not to say this game is bad but could have been better.
